Hi Patty!!
I'm sorry that your having this issue. The violet would certainly make things better but it might take up to 3 treatements to do it. At least that is what happened to me. Now I have very purple nips from all the cracks! You might be having a reaction to the meds or to lanilon. Any hystory there with a reaction? Try putting some of the nipple cream on the under part of your arm and see if you break out. If you do STOP using it and call your Dr. I also used some gel breast pads which I could put in the fridge nad get really cold. That certainly helpped me. I also used Laniosh over anything else and let a tube in the fridge as well.
Are you rinsing you breast after each feeding?
Are you using soap?
Are the girls getting the drops in thier mouth prior to feeding?
Also try putting some of the drops on you breats and letting it dry.
I hope it gets better. Hang in there!!
